Sora POV"
*CRASH* *SMASH*
Burglar 1: you fuckin dumbass stop breaking shit what if someone here
Burglar 2: I didn't mean to
My Dad was out with friends and my sister was at a sleepover with her friends so I was gone alone
Zenez had been training me because he wanted me to be able to defend myself
"Earlier that day"
Zenez: I'm gonna train you the way my dad trained me
Sora: is that why we're in this empty field
Zenez: precisely
Sora: well how'd your dad train you?
Zenez: hit me
Sora: what?
Zenez: you heard me, hit me
Sora: uhh... ok
"Zenez pov"
Sora quickly and unexpectedly tried to kick me in the stomach
I was shocked at her speed but I was able to dodge quick enough
Halfway through the dodge I grabbed her leg and threw her back sending her flying
But like she was a cat she landed on both feet
Sora: I almost got you
Zenez: barely cmon try it again
Sora quickly rushed at me and tried to punch me in the face I moved my head
But she switch the direction of her punch downwards and struck my shoulder
Sora: I DID IT
Zenez: you... did do it
While Sora was celebrating I was rubbing my shoulder because it hurt from the sheer force
She has a lot of potential but I don't know why she didn't use it when the bear attacked her
Zenez: alright relax you hit me in the shoulder that barely counts
Sora: your just mad I got you
She wasn't entirely wrong I'm just more shocked then angry though
Sora: cmon let's go I'm hungry
Zenez: well hold on a sec were not going yet were gonna be out here all day
Sora: WHAT!
Zenez: cmon come at me again
"Back to now"
Sora: could it be dad but drunk? No he doesn't drink so that's not possible
*gasp* robbers
Burglar 1: I'm serious dude stop it with the noise
Sora: HEY
Burglar 1 & 2: SHIT
Burglar 2: oh it's just a girl
Burglar 1: isn't she the one that Doles shot?
I quickly grabbed a chair next to the table and smacked one of the burglars
Burglar 2: GRAB THE BAT GRAB THE BAT
The other burglar quickly ran around the counter and tried to hit Me
But I dodged took the chair and smacked it against the dudes stomach
he kicked me back sending me crashing into the fridge
Out of panic I kicked the dude as hard as I could in his... regions
Burglar 1: AHHHHHHHH YOU KICKED ME IN THE DICK
The other burglar ran and tripped fell and knocked himself out
I kicked the other burglar in the face and knocked him out
I didn't know what to do
The kitchen was an absolute mess and I was just frozen in place
"The next morning + plus Zenez POV"
I was suprised to not hear Sora knocking on my door
So I figured I'd go to her place to check on her
When I entered her block her door was wide open
Out of fear I quickly ran in and looked for her
It didn't take long tho she was in the kitchen just sitting there
Zenez: Hey Sora are you alright
She grabbed a knife and nearly cut my neck
Zenez: Hey hey hey relax it's alright I'm here your safe now
Sora didn't even talk so I didn't pressure her on why there were 2 dudes on the floor knocked out
I'm thankful I taught her how to fight earlier that day who knows what could've happened if I didn't
Sora: they broke in... and they... they tried to rob me... I had to
Zenez: Shhhhhhhhh relax it's fine now
After Sora had relaxed I kicked one of the guys to get them up
After he got up I punched him and forced info out of him
Zenez: you have 2 choices tell me what I wanna know or die a slow painful death as I cut chuncks of flesh out of you
Burglar: wait please don't hurt m-
He stopped talking and looked at me as If he knew me
Zenez: what? spit it out
Burglar: your the guy who killed Doles aren't you
Memories of what happened at the theater came flooding in
Zenez: how do you know about that
Burglar: my brother the Assassin... the guy who got away? You want him right?
Zenez: where is he
He pointed at the other guy who was passed out on the ground
Sora: but if he's an Assassin whyd he run after I hurt you
Burglar: he's been really Paranoid since the events of that night
Zenez: great so a bunch of idiots nearly killed Sora well anyways wake him up
Zenez: what's your name by the way
Ko: uhm Ko my brothers name Ku
Zenez: how creative
Ko: dude get up we could seriously get killed here
Ku slowly got up and saw me
Ku: shit, not you again
Zenez: who the fuck do you think you are who told you to hurt her
Ku: I'll tell you everything if you don't hurt me
Zenez: deal now speak
Ku took a deep breath and spoke
Ku: the Lion king Kogu forced us to kill you I don't have much experience with fighting but Doles did though and you killed him
Zenez: Fucking hell Kogu?
Sora: wait I'm lost here what's going on?
Zenez: remember that Lion type with the armor and the sword? Remember the Lion who nearly killed me? Yeah well that's King Kogu. And if he's actively trying to kill me then that's a problem
Zenez: the teleporter, you must have one
Ko: if I give you mine Kogu will kill us
Zenez: if you don't give me it then I'll kill you
Ko: fine here
Zenez: so I just click this button and it opens the portal?
Ko: yeah
Zenez: cmon were going there to snoop out the place
Ko & Ku: We?
Zenez: me Sora and you 2 fucksticks
Ko: what's in it for us
Zenez: if you comply I won't cut you up into little chunks and feed you to the abnormals
Ko and Ku both looked at eachother nervously and Ku anxiously agreed on behalf of both of them
I opened the portal and we all walked in
